10 stouflville suntribune thursday march 11 2004 m wheels one of the best volvos yet the interior of the v50 wagon featured an innovation centre stack for audio and havc controls which are only about a halfinch thick this version will not be available in canada from page 9 the t5 awd with the sixspeed i didnt try the automatic certainly does put performance into the littlest volvo not to mention cargo and people space the wagon has 417 litres of space behind the rear seats 717 litres with them folded and a total passenger volume of 1307 litres my sixfoot twoinch codriver rode in the back seat on a side trip to gibraltar and found it tight but not oppressive with a fivefoot 10inch driver behind the wheel however he said it would have been impossible with a person the same height as him in the drivers seat while he rode in the back but in both scenarios he agreed headroom was sufficient coming back down the mountains to malaga in the ts awd there was a hint of plowing at the front end under hard braking while lurning into a descending switch back which was not unexpected otherwise it felt extremely tight pointed well and did not have that feeling of the steering wheel being dead on centre which you get a fair amount in awd- vehicles the v50 and the s40 for that matter are very handsome looking with a hint of aggression seeming to lurk just below the skin line the cat walk sill at the window line and the standout taillight treatment debuted on when the s80 was launched remain signature volvo design cues the interior is contemporary and comfortable with the usual attention to seating comfort volvo has made a virtue in their vehicles an innovative feature is the centre control stack looking like a bang olfsen tv remote onlyabout ahalfinch thick mere is actually an open space behind it stretching to the firewall with a little cubby space behind at its base just about right of a wallet or 407 transponder it comes in brushed aluminum dark wood or in the base model a plastic that matches the interior there is also a see through icedaqua version available in europe that remains in the pondering stage for north america with all the imac inspired translucent plastic gizmos on the market i think offering them now in a car is a bit behind the curve with a price point around 35000 up slightly from the 32995 for the current v40 and a shade over a guesstimated 41000 fullyequipped but not fully optioned the v50 now has the athletic looks and eurostyle the target market of upwardly mobile nextgen professionals are aspiring to volvo believes the v50 is ready to make inroads against audi a4 avant and subaru legacy 30 and probably the recent ly announced and pricier jaguar xtype wagon with volvos legendary commitment to safety now coupled with performance to match its nordic looks volvo has created not only an affordable alterative in the upscale compact wagon segment but perhaps the new leader 6425111 rrfiwv 85267 1i stgoiia loose rugs r br0adl00m iijiia up 3m
